I'm so excited...

 This door has been sealed ever since

I bought my house 10 years ago.

I'm a sunshine and light kinda gal,

so this door has been driving me QWAZY!

 Well, today I got out the old chisel n hammer

and went to work. It had been

caulked and painted a bazillion times

and took nearly an hour...BUT...

TAH DAH

Thar be light!!!

Now I can walk out my grooming room

into my side garden or just watch

and listen...

sighhhhhhh......

life is good!

But it's my shack...

 Yup, I can look at all the other

shacks on Pinterest

 and just drool all over the place,

just look at that fence...

who could leave this behind!

 I can dream of what life must've been

like for these folks and why they abandoned...

 Not too shabby huh...but a little

outta my price range...

Home sweet home...

my lil' pink shack!

She's baaaack...

 The lil' white chest...

 What is it about this lil' Victorian chest

that just won't sell...

 Deep drawers for storage, black glass knobs

an insert of marble...

I just don't get it, so she's back at the pink shack

where she holds a multitude of stuff,

that's what happens with no closets,

you make do!

Another new addition...

a dress form and in a perfect state of decay...

ahhhhh...life is good

Pink houses...

What's it like to live in a pink house... 

 it's grand, elegant...

 well, not quite pink, but peach'll do...

 oppulent, historic, spellbinding...

 over the top, outta sight and...

just plain ol' fun...

let us not forget HUMBLE!!!

A favorite nest...

 For years and years I was locked away,

tied to the computer chair at the computer desk...

now I'm free to nest anywhere I like,

this is my new favorite spot...

I was going to sell this cute lil' table, but for

right now it holds the cell phone, the chai tea

and whatever else strikes my fancy...

the top of it is wood-burned with a grape design,

just too cute!

The freedom I have gained with the new laptop

is amazing, now I can sit with Scratch at her

favorite spot on the couch

and watch the sun come up on the horizon...

life is amazing you know,

you just have to pay attention!

a cottage in the country...

 I redid my front room...BORED...

hey, I'm a girl...we do this kinda stuff!

I was going for a more cottage theme,

rather than the Frenchy look by adding this piece of

architectural salvage, but after I added

the chicken, the look really popped...

decrepit decay gone wild

and yes, that's the sun!!!

I'm growing an arbor...

 One slight difference,

it's inside...

 Pinterest inspires me to live on the edge,

so why not...

this vine is perfect to start training on my stair well...

think of it as a safety net,

if me and Scratchy fall coming down the steps,

we can swing like She-ra

and land comfy on the couch at the bottom...

 Then I'm thinking of making two trellis for the windows,

out of twigs, they will resemble my curtains...

fun huh...

So...are ya gettin' the picture...

I heart Pinterest!!!
